Police Squad!

Police Squad! was created by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker (ZAZ), who had previously worked on the films The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) and Airplane! (1980). ZAZ wanted to make another spoof film similar to Airplane!, using the television series M Squad as a basis for the spoof. Lacking an overarching plot to the concept, Paramount Pictures president Michael Eisner instead secured them a six-episode television series, despite ZAZ wanting to make it into a film.{{cite web | url = https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/naked-gun-turns-35-leslie-nielsen-david-zucker-pat-proft-1235766023/ | title = 'Naked Gun' Turns 35: Team on Adapting Failed TV Series, Leslie Nielsen's Magic, Reboot Frustrations | first = Ryan | last = Gajewski | date = December 21, 2023 | accessdate = December 22, 2023 | work = The Hollywood Reporter }}

The show aired as a mid-season replacement in March 1982, but was taken off the schedule after four episodes. The remaining two episodes were dumped onto the summer schedule in place of the usual summer reruns. Against critical acclaim, the show was canceled by ABC after just six episodes.{{cite web| title=Barnes and Noble| work=Police Squad!

Alan North played Captain Ed Hocken, and Peter Lupus co-starred as Officer Norberg. In the films, those roles were played by George Kennedy and O. J. Simpson respectively, with Norberg renamed Nordberg. The only actors who reprised their roles in the films are Leslie Nielsen, Ed Williams as scientist Ted Olson, and Ronald "Tiny Ron" Taylor as the very tall Al. Joyce Brothers played herself in the fourth episode and in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. Robert Goulet, one of the "special guest stars" killed during the title sequence, plays the villain Quentin Hapsburg in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear.{{cite web|title=Dr. Joyce Brothers|website=TV.com |url=http://www.tv.com/dr.-joyce-brothers/person/902/appearances.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090331201632/http://www.tv.com/dr.-joyce-brothers/person/902/appearances.html|archive-date=March 31, 2009|access-date=January 3, 2008}}

• Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin, detective lieutenant of Police Squad. Jerry Zucker explained that the name Drebin was picked blindly from the phone book. Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker had met Nielsen when working on Airplane! (1980) and decided that their kind of humor matched. The team said that Nielsen would be perfect as Drebin, as the character lampooned the roles that Nielsen had played in television dramas such as The Bold Ones: The Protectors and S.W.A.T.{{cite news|title=Badge of Humor – Short-Lived 1982 Series that Spoofed Cop Shows Comes with some Great Extras|date=November 10, 2006| last=Werts | first=Diane|page=11| newspaper=Lexington Herald-Leader}}
• Alan North as Ed Hocken, captain of Police Squad and Drebin's superior officer. in The Naked Gun film series, the role was recast to George Kennedy.
• Peter Lupus as Norberg, a dimwitted officer who serves under Drebin. In The Naked Gun films, the character was slightly renamed to "Nordberg" and recast to O.J. Simpson.
• Ed Williams as Ted Olson, a lab technician at Police Squad. Prior to being cast, Williams had been a science teacher for many years and had some previous acting experience. Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker were amazed by his performance.
• William Duell as Johnny the Snitch, a shoeshiner who acts as an informant for Drebin on multiple cases. Johnny is the only recurring character from Police Squad! to not appear in any of The Naked Gun films.
• Ronald "Tiny Ron" Taylor as Al, an abnormally tall officer whose head is always placed out of frame.

Rex Hamilton is also credited in every episode as "Abraham Lincoln", with the same clip in all opening credits as his only appearance.

The show's opening sequence is a satire on traditional crime-drama opening sequences, particularly those of M Squad and various Quinn Martin shows such as The Fugitive and particularly The New Breed (which also stars Nielsen). Hank Simms, who had worked as an announcer for some of Martin's programs, announced the title of each episode, though the spoken title never matches the title caption.{{cite video|people=Robert Wuhl|title=Police Squad: The Complete Series: Audio Commentary for "Testimony of Evil (Dead Man Don't Laugh)"|medium=DVD|publisher=CBS Paramount}}{{cite news|title=Quirky 'Police Squad!' returns|date=July 24, 1991 |last=McKerrew | first=Steve|work=The Baltimore Sun|page=C10}} The sequence introduces Nielsen and North during a shootout,{{cite news| last=Abrotsky | first=Justin L.|work=Sun Sentinel|date=November 29, 2010 |title=In Memory of Leslie Nielsen: The hilarious intro and ending to Police Squad!}} and Abraham Lincoln impersonator Rex Hamilton, who dramatically returns gunfire to John Wilkes Booth, as his only appearance.{{cite news|title=Escondido teacher Rex Hamilton is dead at 60|date=March 9, 1985|last=Berhman | first=John|work=The San Diego Union|page=II-1}}

The show was intended to mock police dramas in the same way in which Airplane! mocks disaster movies. Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker wrote the pilot episode,{{cite video|people=Zucker, Jerry; Abrahams, Jim; Zucker, David; Weiss, Robert K.|title=Police Squad: The Complete Series: Audio Commentary for "A Substantial Gift (A Bird in the hand)"|medium=DVD|publisher=CBS Paramount}} in which most straight lines were directly copied from an M Squad episode.{{cite news|title=Exposing a trio of film makers who take spoofs quite seriously| last=Carr | first=Jay|work=Boston Globe|date=December 12, 1988|page=5C}} The pilot episode is a near scene-for-scene remake of "More Deadly", the opening episode of the second season of M Squad.

In Wuhl's audio commentary for the DVD, he mentioned that it was a nice opportunity, but that he did not really feel a connection with the show, especially because of its short run.

The first episode of Police Squad! was directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. Two of the show's six episodes were directed by filmmaker Joe Dante, who recalled in 2008,

I knew the Zuckers from second unit on Rock 'n' Roll High School and Kentucky Fried Movie and had turned down Airplane! – don’t ask! When they got Police Squad! going, they asked me to do the second one. It only lasted six episodes, two of which I directed.

ABC had no idea what to do with the show, which had no laugh track and resembled a rerun of a ’60s program. The network kept changing the time slot so no one could find it, and people casually switching it on thought it really was an old TV show! Like they did in their features, the boys used real TV episodes as their template, mostly a ’50s Lee Marvin series called M Squad. It was lots of fun to do and was the first thing I ever directed on a studio lot. I prefer the TV show to the later Naked Gun movies.{{cite web|url=https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-den-of-geek-interview-joe-dante/ |title=The Den of Geek interview: Joe Dante |publisher=Den of Geek |date= |accessdate=2022-04-17}}

ABC announced the cancellation of Police Squad! after four of its six episodes had aired in March 1982. The final two episodes were aired that summer. In an interview for the DVD release of the series, Nielsen said ABC entertainment president Tony Thomopoulos asserted Police Squad! was canceled because viewers had to pay close attention to the show in order to get much of the humor: "the viewer had to watch it in order to appreciate it".Police Squad: The Complete Series (2006). CBS Paramount. ISBN 1-4157-2217-X Nielsen also thought the premise was more effective in the successful Naked Gun films because the much larger screen size in a cinema increases the efficacy of the visual gags. In its annual "Cheers and Jeers" issue, TV Guide magazine called the explanation for the cancellation "the most stupid reason a network ever gave for ending a series".{{Cite web|last=Ess|first=Ramsey|title=A Lost Script from the Files of the 'Police Squad!'|url=https://www.vulture.com/2017/07/a-lost-script-from-the-files-of-the-police-squad.html|website=www.vulture.com|date=July 28, 2017 |access-date=September 29, 2019}}

After the cancellation of Police Squad!, ZAZ returned to films, creating the comedies Top Secret! and Ruthless People. At this point, they were able to identify a narrative to apply to the Police Squad! formula for a theatrical film by adding a romantic plotline, and the film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! was readily greenlit by Paramount. It performed well at the box office, grossing around $78,756,177.{{cite web | website=BoxofficeMojo|title=The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!| url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=nakedgun.htm | access-date=January 11, 2008}} The film led to the Naked Gun trilogy with two sequels, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), were released.
